Vince Gilligan, the creator of smash hit Breaking Bad, has been forced to issue a public service announcement about fans’ pizza-throwing bad behaviour.

Speaking on the latest episode of his Better Call Saul Insider Podcast, Gilligan implored Breaking Bad fans to refrain from re-enacting one of the show’s more iconic scenes, in which protagonist Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) throws a takeaway pizza on the roof of his house in a moment of frustration.

Turns out the actual owners of the house, which is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have been plagued by some over-zealous fans who think it’s funny to do the same.

“Let me tell you: There is nothing funny or original or cool about throwing pizzas on this lady’s roof,” Gilligan told listeners.

“It is just not funny. It’s been done before. You’re not the first.”

“I don’t even consider [the pizza-throwers] fans, I consider them jagoffs,” he added.
